Modifying Multiple Selection Rows
I have a scrollableDataTable that contains a List of NodeFile objects, which is a wrapper around a File entity. A button (rename), when clicked, calls processDetailSelection which processes the selection and creates a list of FileNodes to work with. A modelPanel is brought up with the list of fileNodes bound to the name property in an <h:inputText> boxe. The user is asked to rename the files. When done, they click on a button that calls renameSelected.
The problem I am having is that the renamed names are not getting assigned the changed values on postback.
Any ideas are appreciated!

My backing Bean
package com.projectSpace.action;
//imports removed to save space
@Name("fileManager")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class FileManager implements Serializable {
@In(create = true)
ProjectHome projectHome;
@In
protected EntityManager entityManager;
@In

@RequestParameter

private static final long serialVersionUID = 6484170532121358284L;

}
else {
try {

while (iterator.hasNext()){

public String processDetailSelection() {

while (iterator.hasNext()){

}

...
}
The FileNode
@Name("FileNode")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class FileNode implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 7729590153661819332L;
private File file;
private static List<FileNode> CHILDREN_ABSENT = new ArrayList<FileNode>(0);
private List<FileNode> childFolders;
private List<FileNode> childFiles;
private String name;
private FileNode parent;
public FileNode(File file) {
this.file = file;
this.setName(file);
}
public FileNode(File file, FileNode parent) {
this.file = file;
this.setName(file);
this.setParent(parent);
}
public String getName(){
return this.name;
}
public void setName(File file){
if (file.getFileName().equals("ROOT"))
this.name = file.getProject().getProjectNumber() + " - " + file.getProject().getName();
else
this.name = file.getFileName();
}
public void setName(String name){
if (this.file.getFileName().equals("ROOT"))
return; // we cannot rename the project.
// TODO probably should throw an exception or warn user.
else {
this.name = name;
this.file.setFileName(name);
}
}
public File getFile() {
return this.file;
}
public void setFile(File file) {
this.file = file;
}
....
}
And Finally, the File Entity
@Entity
@Table(name = "files")
public class File implements java.io.Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -8800801738264510972L;
private Long id;
private Project project;
private String fileName;
private Date dateCreated;
private Date dateModified;
private Type type;
private Boolean folder = false;
private File parent;
private Set<File> subFiles = new HashSet<File>();
private Set<FileRevision> fileRevisions = new HashSet<FileRevision>();
@In
private EntityManager entityManager;
public File() {
}
...
getters/setters
...
}
